How can facebook page owners install third party facebook app ?

There are two ways for installing any app on facebook page. 


 1. goto https://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id="" click on add to my page.

But, what if you want user to install your app just by clicking on the install button available on either your app page or on any website page? 


When user clicks on install button, redirect page to : 
http://www.facebook.com/add.php?api_key="<api_key>"&pages 


So, the user will be asked if he wants to add application to his pages (in case he owns a single page). 
 If the user owns multiple pages, he will be asked to choose pages for the app to be installed on.

    Can anyone explain (or provide a link to facebook) with all the ‘optional’ url parameters and how they are used? I've seen the following used on external sites when installing applications but it’s not really clear if they’re needed.

    cancel_url=url
    display=page
    fbconnect=1
    next=url
    return_session=1
    session_version=3
    v=1.0
    req_perms=publish_stream,manage_pages
    cancel=url
